(The fourth in our series of charter destinations that offer good value)
To many in the yachting world, Sardinia is synonomous with Porto Cervo, which is in turn synonomous with high end/expensive. However, if you’re looking for a great value charter destination for 2009, Sardinia may just be your perfect place.
Sardinia is a large island, and if you get outside of Porto Cervo, the prices come down dramatically. There are hundreds of great charter yachts available in ports such as Alghero, Carloforte, etc, and there are excellent itineraries you can plan from each port. And of course, if you want to stop off in Porto Cervo for a day or two along the way, its up to you!
Once on the charter, food is excellent and low cost – you can do very well on pizza, pasta and antipasto!!
Here are two itineraries that may help you make your decision: The Gallurese coast in the north, and a sailing itinerary from Carloforte to Cagliari. Enjoy!

One of the trends we’re seeing recently is the combination of a yacht charter with a variety of wellness and spa treatments. These can be basic, such as healthy food and massage, to an elaborate regime managed by wellness specialists. We believe this trend makes a lot of sense – there is a natural “wellness” component to just relaxing on a yacht, so adding physical and spiritual treatments and exercises such as yoga, massage, shiatsu, healthy cuisine and relaxation regimes goes along perfectly with the charter.
Given the financial uncertainty throughout the world, we thought we would do a few articles on where to get the most value for your charter dollars/euros/pounds.
